Chapter 109 - 109: Wanting To Open A Gun Shop
Theo was already expecting it, but upon seeing Zaira's status, he was still surprised that he somehow influenced the awakening of her Lineage.
"Well, there's no point in worrying about it now… I think it may have helped awaken the strongest Lineage possible for her, but she did have to go through more pain because of it." Theo thought and said, "Okay, shall we cultivate now? I believe you still need to get used to your new Lineage, right?"
"Yes, I want to cultivate too!" Zaira and Shina nodded.
Yuki and Zaika also wanted to join in, so they sat on the ground and started practicing their cultivation techniques.
Theo also sat on down in the lotus position and began to cultivate.
8 hours later…
[Filled: 640 Lineage Cells]
*Sigh~
"Once again, the number of cells I'm filling is increasing!" Theo gasped in wonder since the more cells he can fill, the better his Lineage skills will become, and the more his constitution will improve.
"Congratulations, Shina, on your breakthrough!"
"Thank you, Yuki!" Shina smiled and continued, "It got even easier to cultivate after I awoke my Lineage!"
"Yes, it was the same for me." Zaira commented and said happily, "And I also feel like my current power is almost twice as strong as before!"
"But Zaira, your Lineage is different from the normally awakened Lineage, right?! What's the difference exactly, can you tell me?" Zaika asked doubtfully.
"That… I don't know either…" Zaira also had her doubts about it. Although the Pill created a Lineage, she didn't have a very noticeable improvement like her sister. Yet, as soon as she began to cultivate, she realized that her Lineage had started to strengthen her.
"Maybe it's a Lineage that will grow with its owner?" She commented doubtfully.
Shina was also uncertain about that.
Theo, who had stopped cultivating, was listening in on their conversation. He got up and went over to them and said, "You want to know more about your awakened Lineage, right?"
"Yes!" They nodded.
"Well, it's not much different from what Zaira thought it would be. It's created various factors in your body, using all available resources, and from that, it creates a foundation. Basically, your Lineage is like a newborn that needs to grow!" Theo smiled, "That means it is constantly growing and improving, but I don't truly know the limit of how much it can develop, or if it even has a limit to how far it can grow…"
Theo was also unsure about that. But he thought, "Wouldn't it be amazing if it had no growth limit? Well, at least it still doesn't seem to have any indications of stopping yet…"
"Wow! This is pretty amazing then! If it really grows with the person, doesn't that mean it would be even better than a normal Lineage? If you are constantly improving and really have no limit, your power will become limitless…!" Yuki thought out loud.
"Yes, that's basically it! As far as I can tell, my Lineage is still growing and has shown no sign of stopping." Theo explained.
"This…" Zaika thought of something and asked: "Is it possible to use this Pill for those who already have a Lineage?"
Now they all looked in Theo's direction. If it were really possible to use this Lineage Pill on someone who already has a Lineage, wouldn't it be incredibly amazing? Zaika couldn't help but wonder about it.
"Actually, it's possible…"
"Really, Theo? Wow! That's great!" Shina exclaimed loudly.
"T-Theo… can I try that?" Zaika asked, abashed. She knew it was an absurd request since she could imagine how rare such a Pill must be, but her desire to have a Lineage that grows with her was extremely desirable.
Theo said with a sigh, "It's not that I don't want to give one to you, but it's not really wise to do it… the pain a person who already has Lineage has to go through to create a new one… is infernal and unbearable torture! It's even possible for you to kill yourself to end your suffering, so I don't want you to use it, okay?"
"Yes…" Although she was sad that she couldn't use it, Zaika was touched by how much Theo cared for her. Although he was always kind to her, this level of concern made her very happy, knowing that she really had found a good master.
Theo smiled and said, "Well, this is only impossible right now. I plan to do more testing in the future and try to eliminate the extreme suffering when you awaken a new Lineage while you already have one."
"Oh, I believe you will succeed, Theo!" Yuki said and smiled beautifully.
Shina smiled and said, "Yes, I think you can do it too!"
"I believe in you too!" Zaira said.
"Yes, I know you can do it too, Theo!" Zaika said with a smile.
"Thank you! I'll do my best!" Theo smiled.
*Yawn~
"Well, it's late. Let's get some sleep." Theo said.
"Yes!" They agreed.
Theo soon brought them out of the Dimensional Room and once again appeared in their bedroom in the Orphanage.
*
The next morning, Theo and the girls left the room and had breakfast with the Orphanage staff. While they were eating, Theo mentioned that he wanted to talk with them later.
In the living room.
"So, Theo, what did you want to talk about?" Nanda asked.
"Well, I actually want to buy a store near the market to open a gun store." Theo said with a serious look on his face, "I already have the guns made, and I don't intend to operate the shop myself, so I wanted to know if you were interested in managing this for me!"
"Are you serious?! But what level of weapons are we talking about? Level 1 and 2 weapons?" Aine asked.
"Umm, it's actually level 2 and 3 weapons…"
"W-What… Level 3 guns too?" They exclaimed all surprises.
"Huh? Why are you so surprised? Aren't they just level 2 and 3 weapons?" Yuki asked in confusion. Well, after seeing so many level 4 and 5 weapons in the White Lion King's workshop, she no longer saw level 2 and 3 weapons as that impressive.
Theo, who had already talked to Shina about this, had a greater understanding than Yuki, so he knew that it was not that easy to get a level 3 weapon in this City. However, that didn't mean there isn't any, only that few can get them; therefore, their value is very high.
Theo smiled and said, "Well, you must be able to imagine the value of a level 3 weapon, right?" Seeing them nod his head, he continued, "I have a lot of level 3 weapons actually, but I don't want to draw the attention of a lot of them suddenly appear on the market. So I'll just put 5 of them up for sale each week."
"Well, if what you said is true then we would be happy to work in your store!" Nanda said with a smile.
"Oh, that's great! Also, when it comes to revenue, you can have 40%." Theo said.
